How do Smoke Detectors Work?
The fundamental working principle of fire detectors is quite simple. Smoke detectors are placed in a plastic disk and located in many sections of a property, you can find them on the ceiling. Smoke is detected either optically or physically, and smoke detectors can either use one or both methods. All domestic fire alarms are battery-powered, whereas, a commercial fire alarm system is normally wired into the power system and have a backup battery.
Did you know that installing fire alarms in your home reduces the risk of dying in a home fire by 50%. Why would you take the risk? Install fire alarms today.
How are Smoke Detectors Manufactured?
Fire safety equipment is manufactured for residential and commercial units. The formation of fire detectors is a dual step procedure. In the first step, Am-241 is foiled to install it in subsequent reference and sensing compartments. Secondly, all compartments are assembled to make final ICSD.
The assembly of all chambers, including sensing and reference compartments, is a multi-step process. There are several tests and inspection devices to examine the reliability of the equipment at each step. After that, all chambers are attached to a radioactive source which is sensitive to smoke.
There are three significant types of smoke detecting devices, i.e. photoelectric, heat sensitive and ionisation devices. You can select any one of them according to your requirement.
Advantages of Smoke Detectors
